Hi Arthur,
Hmm ... there seems to be some delay in the www-vlib exploder --
I got your original message on 3/3 but the one from www-vlib came
on 3/6!

I have done that -- take a look and see if it is okay. I found that
my trouble in getting to your server has to do with Solaris 2.3 -- I
have no trouble when I run Mosaic from a machine with SunOS 4.1.3!
(I will probably put SunOS 4.1.3 on my machine next week!) So I am
now having my WWWVL pages pull the WWWVL icon directly from
info.cern.ch, and it seems to work fine.

Both the WWWVL Administration page and the Maintainers page look great to me
... they have my vote to go forward as-is.
Suggestion: wouldn't it be nice to include those email addresses by linking
to them? I guess even HTML+ will not provide a "text inclusion" capability
like the in-line image capability. Perhaps there should be links to the
maintainers' home pages, anyway. Comments on that idea?
General question for anyone on www-vlib:
Is anyone good at designing icons ... and also at making them? If
so, would they be interested in coming up with icons for the
WWWVL home pages for Engineering and Electrical Engineering?
Please let me know!
Thanks!
Steve.
